God takes pleasure to see you take your little steps; and like a good father who holds his child by the hand, He will accommodate His steps to yours and will be content to go no faster than you. Why do you worry?

Don't get upset with your imperfections. Surrender to the Power of God's Love, which is greater than our weakness.

Big fires flare up in a wind, but little ones are blown out unless they are carried in under cover.

If the heart wanders or is distracted, bring it back to the point quite gently... And even if you did nothing during the whole of your hour but bring your heart back, though it went away every time you brought it back, your hour would be very well employed.

Let us think only of spending the present day well. Then when tomorrow shall have come, it will be called today, and then we will think about it.

It is wonderful how attractive a gentle, pleasant manner is, and how much it wins hearts.

To live according to the spirit is to love according to the spirit.
